- THE PORTMIAMI TUNNEL: A 4,200 feet bored, undersea tunnel that consists of two parallel tunnels that travel beneath Biscayne Bay, connecting the MacArthur Causeway on Watson Island with PortMiami on Dodge Island. It was built in a P3 partnership between the Florida Department of Transportation, Miami-Dade County, the City of Miami, and the private entity MAT Concessionaire LLC: designing, building, and financing holds a 35-year concession to operate and maintain the tunnel Construction; 4 years from May 2010-August 2014. The tunnel was opened to traffic on August 3, 2014. Cost of the project: $667 million- cost includes maintenance funded by FDOT, which Miami-Dade is not participating in 50/50 Split by Miami-Dade and FDOT SEIR converted to federal document for TIFIA loan PORTMIAMI’S DEEP DREDGE PROJECT 50 feet now allows the port to accommodate the PostPananmax ships. The project was completed September 2015 Initial Project Cost $39 million (50/50 split out) Contribution to date FDOT 8.9 million/Port Miami 8.9 million 4 cranes arrived October 2013 and 6 more cranes to come in FY 2018 and 2019. Post-panamax operations will begin Spring 2017 Only port south of Savanna, Georgia that is dredged for post-panamax FEC RAIL The railroad bridge connecting the Port of Miami to the mainland was damaged by Hurricane Wilma in 2005, at which time service was suspended, and the bridge remained closed for well over a decade. The Port of Miami was awarded a federal grant as part of the TIGER program to restore a connection between the FECR's yard in Hialeah and the Port of Miami, directly connecting the port to rail networks across the United States, as well as re-establish the port's on-dock rail capability (loading and unloading directly between ships and trains). $49 million in investment includes: 22.767 million US DOT Tiger 2 Grant, 10.9 million FDOT, 10.9 million FEC, 4.8 million Port of Miami March 2011 - when improvements began Feb 2015 - completed The rail project is part of another element of increasing PortMiami's capacity; an inland intermodal center to be built near the airport known as Flagler Logistics Hub, which is planned to be built on 300 acres of land in Hialeah. Viaduct VIADUCT The project includes two components: the widened reconstruction of the NW 25th Street roadway; and 2) the construction of a new viaduct (an elevated bridge). The roadway reconstruction calls for widening NW 25th Street by adding an additional west bound lane from the Palmetto Expressway (SR 826) to just west of NW 70th Avenue. Improvements include: intersection improvements to allow for better truck turning movements, signalization, landscaped median, improved lighting and drainage, water and sewer mains and pedestrian features. The viaduct component calls for the construction of a two lane (one eastbound and one westbound) elevated bridge mainly situated over the north side of NW 25th Street using part of the North Line Canal right of way. The viaduct begins just east of the Palmetto Expressway (SR 826) on the median and continues eastward eventually curving south from NW 25th Street into NW 68th Avenue touching down just north of NW 22nd Street in the area known as Miami International Airport’s West Cargo Area. This complex project was completed 126 days early Received the Miami Dade American Society of Civil Engineers/ASCE Miami Dade County Project of the Year Award (2011). TRUCK PARKING The Miami-Dade MPO, along with the input of its Freight Transportation Advisory Committee (FTAC), conducted both the “Comprehensive Parking Study for Freight Transport Phase I” study and the subsequent “Development of Truck Parking Facilities in Miami-Dade County Phase II” study. In the first study: A severe truck parking shortage in Miami-Dade County was determined, with a demand exceeding 12,000 spaces with only 293 truck parking spaces available. It was estimated that 1,177 acres are needed to fully satisfy truck parking demand. As a result, potential truck parking locations were identified. In the second study: Those locations were then examined in greater detail and additional truck parking locations were identified. Out of these studies two sites owned by FDOT were identified as being viable. Both of them are now in the process of being studied by FDOT to be constructed to accommodate the trucking community.
- Direct access from/to SR-836, I-75 and SR-836 to the Palmetto Intermodal Metrorail Station Help in reducing traffic congestion along these facilities Improving freight mobility throughout the corridors Over 2,500 additional parking spaces within the full development Roadway improvements to facilitate truck movements within the surrounding industrial area
